Important Fundamental Concepts and Principles
that apply to all CST Wing Chun techniques and applications. These videos are the reason that this course is a pre-requisite to the next 2 Techniques and Applications courses, because they are only featured in this Part 1 course. Some of these concepts to apply include:
- Taigung (activation of deep core muscles and how to apply it in different exercises and applications such as attack, defense and pad work)
- Seng (the alignment and ‘rising up’ idea and releasing tension in and around the spine which enables further interconnectivity of the upper and lower halves of the body)
- Mindful Relaxation and the idea of ‘Placing’ (which details the difference from the common misconceptions of what relaxation means in internal Kung Fu arts and how it is tangibly applied in this method, leading to opening of the joints and efficient power generation)
- Applications of Wing Chun’s core principle of Centerline and ‘triangulation’ to focus and apply the body’s mass into the target/opponent.
- Elbow and Knee Force and correct methods of settling of the shoulder girdle for inter-connection of the body and the limbs, enabling the ability to retain a shield-like structure under the pressure of incoming force.
Basic Solo and Partner Techniques
to develop the foundations of Wing Chun’s self-defense techniques. Even though these are not very advanced techniques, it’s important for all those who are new to the method of CST Wing Chun to go through them so they can apply the unique concepts shared within the basic techniques, before building up to more advanced ones such as live sparring.
Striking and Pad Work Practices
and how to apply the ‘internal’ engine to produce enormous striking power which build the foundation for being able to perform the 1-inch punch and one-inch kicks as demonstrated by Sifu Nima King in many videos of Youtube.
Detailed Teaching Moment Videos
